Description

This text continues its tradition of setting the standard for teaching students how to be effective problem solvers.
Now in its eighth edition, this market-leading text emphasizes the authors' collective teaching expertise as well as the signature methodologies that have taught entire generations of engineers worldwide.
Integrated throughout the text are real-world applications that emphasize the relevance of thermodynamics principles to some of the most critical problems and issues of today, including a wealth of coverage of topics related to energy and the environment, biomedical/bioengineering, and emerging technologies.
New to This Edition

Modern and forward-thinking real world applications.
An increased emphasis on how thermodynamics principles are related to some of the most important issues of today and the coming decade around energy resource use and environmental engineering.
Integrated coverage of contemporary applications for thermodynamics in the fields of biomedicine and bioengineering.
New animation-based demonstrations reinforce the concepts in real-world situations.
Emphasis on energy storage, an area of explosive growth, integrated throughout, including a new introductory section (sec. 2.7), feature on thermal energy storage (chap. 3), followed by a section on energy storage coverage of pumped energy by hydro and compressed storage (sec. 4.8).
New coverage of the configuration of power plants (chap. 8).
A wealth of new and revised homework problems, refreshing the extensive selection of problems in every chapter, organized to help students develop engineering skills in three modes: conceptual, skill building, and design/open ended problems.
Focus on design concepts, which are interwoven through the book along with a set of newly revised and augmented questions on design and open-ended issues that are part of each set of end of chapter problems.
